Well they're sharing a drink they call loneliness, but it's better than drinking alone
I decided to take a leaf out of Jas' book and just write a whole lotta points to cover the last few months, which have actually been quite eventful (Rule number 34E in Dotto logging: The less that happens, the more you'll hear about it)
1. December 2005: He started a job at Myer Bondi. He was begged to stay at KFC though and did.
2. Some guys did something at Cronulla
3. January 2006: He quit the job at Myer Bondi. Reasons include the loss of shifts after the stocktake sale, the amount of time it took to get there and the fact that I don't have much interest in menswear. KFC proceeded to give him 20-30 hours which amounted to more money even though the rate of pay was lower.
4. February 2006: Living in Bangor, going to a gym in Menai and working in Miranda brought fears of becoming a Shire bogan. This and the fact that there wasn't anything that mentally stimulating meant I was craving university.
5. Member of my electorate said something amazingly stupid. Made me want to move out more
6. March 2006: Started university at Usyd. The campus is fucking massive - it's just like school with two bars, banks, shops, food courts, courtyards, the southern hemisphere's biggest library complex and classes that can be hundreds of metres apart.
7. I generally like my classes: no really bad lecturers and tutors and the work interests me, even thoguh I'll have no use of it in the real world.
8. I stopped going to the gym, walking around Usyd is enough. I also rode my bike to sutherland station for the first two weeks but gave up after, natch, a bike society bike ride. Now to get back on my bike I also have to buy a headlight.
9. Making friends is slow just as it always is with me. I've met a few peopke though. Some random, some of them that are like friends of friends of friends (I met Farrah, and wondered why she didn't look Welsh), some of them from the open high school (I knew doing french was going to be useful for SOMETHING). Amazingly, I've been meeting a lot of shire people, which is ironic because - since former students of schools in sutherland get extra points for wollongong - Shire people who go to the uni of Sydney generally want to escape the shire.
10. Too many Techies too! You can't walk down Eastern Avenue without running into one. I've even tried to avoid some, though I make exceptions for Richard, Justin and Josh (who's a rather useful linguistics resource)
11. Those female things which used to only be educated in Kogarah are now under the same roof, it's an adjustment that's for sure.
12. Lots of people who do Structure of Language do another language or two, like me. Hence, I see too many people in my French and Japanese classes in my Lingustics class.
13. I've managed to meet not just one other person also doing French, Japanese and Linguistics, but two other people. They do them in different streams to me though (ie no one is in all of my lectures).
14. I joined about a million societies and so far been active in one of them. And they seem to have stopped now, too.
15. April 2006: So far, I've had to write more words in French than I have in English. This is actually quite painful
16. I think I'm actually preferring Japanese to French.
17. I haven't seen anyone excluding my family and workmates since early easter saturday, where I made my subtle exit from campbell's house by tripping the alarm the night after the great escape.
18. I actually don't have much work at all to do in the midsemester break. On the week back i have a linguistics problem and a japanese quiz which are worth about 2% each.
19. I wanted to go for a drink with someone after an 8 hour shift, which was after waking up at 7 and driving my mum to bankstown and my brother to the motor registry in miranda. Everyone ditched me, I hope they all choke (:
20. In my break at work today, I went to Dick Smiths and realised they were employing and the nerd in me almost made me apply right there in my KFC uniform. I'm still considering it because I heard that 18 year olds get full wage and it's in an electronics store. What's stopping me is that I'm sure KFC won't let go, and that I may be bound to Miranda a bit longer than I'd hoped (my plan with KFC was to become a shift supervisor so I could get paid more and move up to hurstville or rockdale where they were in desperate need of shift supervisors), but a job DSE is still mighty appealing, for me its a job second to a music store, in particular a hi-fi store.
Yet another twenty points to keep me satisfied.
Adios
